HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR TO 30 JUNE 2019
Lake Torrens Project
Vulcan and Vulcan West IOCGU* Prospects (EL 5499), South Australia
- A conditional joint venture and farm in agreement was negotiated with FMG Resources Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group Limited (ASX: FMG) after extensive data review and was executed in June 2019. The agreement allows FMG to initially earn a 51% interest in EL 5499 by sole funding A$4 million plus GST on exploration expenditure within a 3 year period. Fortescue must expend a minimum of A$1 million before it can withdraw without equity.
(*IOCGU Iron-oxide copper-gold-uranium)
Pernatty Prospect (EL 6137), South Australia
-
Tasman Resources Ltd (‘Tasman’) completed a detailed gravity survey over Exploration Licence 6137, on the southern Stuart Shelf, approximately 20km southeast from the Carrapateena IOCGU deposit. The survey consisted of about 320 stations over an area of approximately 90 km[2] . This was followed by geophysical modelling which identified two priority target areas for IOCG* mineralisation at relatively shallow depth.
-
EM surveys over the two target areas commenced in July 2019. It is hoped that the EM surveys will provide valuable technical support for possible further geophysical surveys as well as the siting of one or more drill holes planned for later in the year. The EM may highlight anomalous areas of electrical conductivity in the basement which could be due to sulphide mineralisation, as well as providing information about basement depth.
Eden Innovations Ltd Investment (ASX Code: EDE)
- Tasman has a 37.5% interest in Eden Innovations Ltd (“Eden”) which develops and markets clean technology products. It currently produces and sells EdenCrete®, a revolutionary high performance concrete admixture and OptiBlend®, a world leading innovative retrofit dual fuel technology developed for diesel generator sets. During the year Eden made significant progress towards achieving its goal of having EdenCrete® become a product that is widely used in the concrete market, particularly the huge US infrastructure market.
Conico Ltd Investment (ASX Code: CNJ)
- Tasman has a 13.5% interest in Conico Ltd. Conico owns 50% of the Mt Thirsty nickelcobalt-manganese oxide deposit in Western Australia.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
LAKE TORRENS PROJECT, SOUTH AUSTRALIA (TASMAN 100%)
EL 5499 (Tasman 100%, FMG earning 51%)
EL5499 is located 30km NNE of the giant Olympic Dam IOCGU deposit and hosts a number of IOCGU prospects. More recently the Vulcan West prospect has been identified as occupying a very geophysically anomalous and interesting zone (around 50km2) between two other very large known IOCGU systems, Vulcan and Titan, both within Tasman’s Exploration Licence (see Figure 1).
==> picture [453 x 339] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1: Tasman’s EL 5499, showing the location of Olympic Dam, Titan, Vulcan and other IOCG prospects. Grid GDA94 Zone 53.
No exploration was carried out on EL5499 during the year however a conditional joint venture and farm in agreement was negotiated with FMG Resources Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group Limited (ASX: FMG) after extensive data review. The agreement was finalised in June 2019. A brief summary of the key commercial points of the Agreement is as follows:
-
Fortescue may earn a 51% beneficial interest by sole funding A$4 million plus GST on exploration expenditure within a 3 year period.
-
Fortescue must expend a minimum of A$1 million before it can withdraw. If Fortescue withdraws before expending A$4 million it will earn no interest.
-
After earning a 51% interest, Fortescue may at its election, increase its Joint Venture interest to 80% by sole funding a further A$7 million plus GST on exploration expenditure within a further 5 year period. If Fortescue withdraws before expending the further A$7 million its interest will remain at 51%.
-
After Fortescue has ceased to sole fund the exploration expenditure, all parties must contribute to Joint Venture expenditure proportionally to their Joint Venture interests from time to time or may elect to not contribute, in which case its Joint Venture interest will be diluted in accordance with standard industry dilution provision.
-
If the interest of either party in the Joint Venture falls below 10%, the other party has the right to purchase all of that interest at 90% of its then fair market value.
-
Fortescue will be the manager both while earning its interest and during the Joint Venture.

Background on Vulcan and Vulcan West
Vulcan West is located 30km NNE of the giant Olympic Dam IOCG deposit and occupies a very geophysically anomalous and interesting zone (around 50km[2] ) between two other very large IOCG systems, Vulcan and Titan, both within Tasman’s Exploration Licence 5499 (see Figure 2).
==> picture [371 x 238] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: Regional residual gravity image over Tasman’s Exploration Licence 5499, showing the location of Olympic Dam, Titan and Vulcan, and the area of the recent gravity infill survey and modelling (Vulcan West). (GDA 94, MGA Zone 53)
As previously reported (see Tasman’s ASX Quarterly Report for the quarter ending 31 March 2018) the infill gravity survey completed in January 2018 over a previously undrilled section of the Exploration Licence, provided high quality data to enable detailed geophysical modelling (combined gravity and magnetics) over an area considered prospective for discovery of IOCG deposits. A number of potential drill targets were identified in this modelling, and as suspected, a number of these targets are at shallower depth than the nearby large Vulcan IOCG system.
Regional MT surveys conducted by the University of Adelaide have suggested that Vulcan and Olympic Dam share a very deep underlying zone of anomalously conductive rocks that are postulated to represent a zone of fluid migration, which was critical in the formation of these two very large IOCG systems.
Figure 3 (see Figure 2 for location) shows the residual gravity response obtained from the new geophysical processing and modelling over the main area of interest at Vulcan West and clearly highlights a number of distinctive anomalies. Combined modelling of this gravity data with existing magnetics has defined a number of potential drill targets, at a variety of depths:
-
Target A: Modelled depth of about 650m
-
Target B: Modelled depth of about 700m
-
Target C: Modelled depth of about 680m
-
Target D: Modelled depth of about 850m
-
Target E: Modelled depth of about 700m
-
• Target F: Modelled depth of about 750m.

Figure 3: Detailed plan of residual gravity at Vulcan West, based on all available data. Red/magenta colours are areas of stronger residual gravity, generally indicating areas likely to be underlain by denser, more iron-rich rock, potentially IOCG systems. The letters A, B, C etc. refer to individual modelled bodies. Also shown in plan, at the same scale is an outline of the Carrapateena IOCG deposit, located 125km to the SE. Clearly there is potential for the Vulcan West area (especially Targets A & C) to host Carrapateena-size deposits at attractive depths.
EL 6137 (Pernatty) 100% Tasman
The Pernatty Project is located approximately 20km SSE of the Carrapateena IOCG deposit (refer Figure 4), approx. 150km north of Port Augusta in South Australia. The area was initially targeted by Tasman due to available geophysical data, the possibility of reasonable basement depths and its proximity to Carrapateena. Importantly, Tasman’s regional geological studies identified Pernatty as lying within an interpreted prospective “corridor” containing the most commercially favourable IOCG deposits at Olympic Dam, Wirrda and the three deposits in the Carrapateena area (see Figure 4). Recently, BHP has announced the potential discovery of a major new deposit at Oak Dam West, which is also located within this interpreted corridor. There has been no previous drilling within the tenement.

New Tasman IOCG target areas shown in red.
Tasman completed a detailed gravity survey over the Exploration Licence in late 2018. The survey consisted of 358 new gravity stations over an area of approximately 90 km[2] .
Integration of the new gravity results with existing geophysical data and geophysical modelling was carried out by Tasman’s consultant geophysicist. The residual gravity response at Pernatty is shown in Figure 4 and clearly highlights a number of distinctive anomalies. Combined modelling of this gravity data with existing magnetics has defined a number of potential IOCG target areas (Figure 5), at possibly relatively shallow depths. Within each of these target areas a number of specific bodies of interest have been identified, and these can be summarised as follows:
-
Target Area A. Seven bodies modelled at depths between 200m and 400m, with SGs (densities) between 2.90 and 3.23
-
Target Area B. Three bodies modelled at depths between 350m and 550m, with SGs (densities) between 2.90 and 3.05.

Figure 5: Residual gravity image over Tasman’s Pernatty Project (EL 6137). Red/magenta colours are areas of stronger residual gravity, generally indicating areas likely to be underlain by denser rocks. Also shown are Target Areas A and B where a number of relatively shallow potential IOCG systems have been modelled (GDA 94, MGA Zone 53).
Note that Figure 5 also shows a number of other areas of residual gravity response, but these are not considered a particularly high priority at this stage for a variety of reasons. These include sparse gravity information, deeper interpreted depths or other geological reasons.
An EM survey over the priority exploration targets shown in Figure 5 commenced in July 2019. The EM may highlight anomalous areas of electrical conductivity in the basement which could be due to sulphide mineralisation, as well provide as information about basement depth. It is hoped that the EM survey results will provide valuable technical support for possible further geophysical surveys and the siting of one or more drill holes planned for later in the year.

INVESTMENT IN EDEN INNOVATIONS LTD (ASX Code: EDE)
As at 30 June 2019, Tasman through its wholly owned subsidiary, Noble Energy Pty Ltd, held 624,334,707 fully paid shares in Eden (representing 37.5% of the total issued capital of Eden) and 14,814,815 EDEOB options representing 21.3% of the issued EDEOB options. Based on the closing prices on the ASX of EDE ($0.035) and EDEO ($0.015) on 30 June 2019, this investment had a market value of $22 million, which is equivalent to 4.5 cents for every currently issued TAS share.
The board of Tasman believes there is potentially significant further upside in its investment in Eden and as a major part of Tasman’s investment strategy it intends to continue to hold the Eden shares and options as a long term investment.
The Highlights of progress made by Eden during the year are as follows:
EdenCrete®

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Remuneration Report (Audited)
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of Tasman Resources Ltd has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific longterm incentives based on key performance areas affecting the economic entity’s financial results. The board of Tasman Resources Ltd believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the economic entity, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Group is that all executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and options.
All directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution where required by the government, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Any shares which may be issued to executives would be valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.
The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration committee determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. To align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.
Performance based Remuneration
No performance based remuneration was paid during the year.
Options issued as part of remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2019
No options were issued as part of remuneration during the year ended 30 June 2019.
Included under employee benefits expense in the income statement is $453,930 (2018: $757,145) which relates, in full, to equity settled share-based payment transactions.
Names and positions held of key management personnel in office at any time during the financial year are:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . The financial report of Tasman Resources Ltd and its controlled entities complies with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board in their entirety.
The financial report covers the consolidated Group of Tasman Resources Ltd and its controlled entities as at and for the year ended 30 June 2019. Tasman Resources Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Group is a for-profit entity and primarily is involved in mineral exploration in South Australia and technology solutions through its subsidiary Eden Innovations Ltd.
The financial report was authorised for issue on 24 September 2019 by the board of directors.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of Preparation
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Tasman Resources Ltd’s and Eden Innovations Ltd’s functional currency. The functional currencies of Eden Innovations Ltd’s subsidiaries are USD and INR.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities, the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group has reported a net loss for the year of $9,956,227 (2018: $14,131,739) and a cash outflow from operating activities of $7,869,156 (2018: $9,885,559). The directors carefully manage expenditure and, subject to being able to raise further finance, are of the view, based on cash flow forecasts, that the Group will be able to continue its operations as a going concern. The continuing applicability of the going concern basis of accounting is dependent upon the Group’s ability to source additional finance. The directors are confident that the Group will be successful in securing additional funds, should the need arise.
Based on these facts, the directors consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate for this financial report. Should the Company be unsuccessful in securing additional finance, there is a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt whether the entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or, to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
Accounting Policies
a. Principles of Consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity Tasman Resources Ltd is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 21 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent.
Non-controlling interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.
b. Income Tax
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
- b. Income Tax continued
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised.
Tasman Resources Ltd and Noble Energy Pty Ltd, its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, have formed an income tax consolidated Group under the tax consolidation regime. The Group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated Group to apply from 1 July 2005. The tax consolidated Group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the Group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated Group.
c. Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Costs are assigned on the basis of first-in, first-out.
d. Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment are initially recognised at acquisition cost or manufacturing cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Group’s management.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| The depreciation rates used for each | class of depreciable assets are: |
|---|---|
| Class of Fixed Asset | Depreciation Rate |
| Plant and equipment | 15 – 50% straight line |
| Buildings | 4% straight line |
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
e. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward where the right to tenure is current and to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
f. Intangibles
Research and development
Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.
Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property, which includes trademarks and engineering knowledge, is included in the financial statements at cost, being their fair value on acquisition.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
- f. Intangibles continued
Intellectual property and trademarks are only amortised or written down where the useful lives are limited or impaired by specific circumstances, in such cases amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over their useful lives and write downs are charged fully when incurred. The directors have assessed the useful life of the intellectual property and have estimated that it has a finite useful life of 10 to 20 years. The intellectual property is amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the asset.
- g. Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs.
Classification and subsequent measurement
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories:
-
amortised cost
-
fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
-
equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
-
debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items. The classification is determined by both the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL):
-
they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect its contractual cash flows
-
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The entity’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Trade and other receivables
The entity makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the entity uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The entity’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Impairment
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss.
- h. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
- h. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances continued
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
-
retained earnings are translated at historic rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
-
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which the operation is disposed of. Intercompany loans are treated as investments for foreign currency translation purposes.
-
i. Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its non-financial tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
- j. Investments in Associates
Investments in associate companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting recognises the Group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its associates.
- k. Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
Equity-settled compensation
The Group operates a number of share-based compensation plans. These include both a share option arrangement and an employee share scheme. The bonus element over the exercise price of the employee services rendered in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares of the options granted.
l. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
m. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments and bank overdrafts.

-
n. Revenue Revenue is recognised when or as the Group transfers control of products or provides services to a customer at the amount to which the Group expects to be entitled as the performance obligation is met. If the consideration includes a variable component, the expected consideration is adjusted for the estimated impact of the variable component at the point of recognition and re-estimated at every reporting period. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
-
o. Comparative Figures
-
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
-
p. Segment reporting
-
Segment results that are reported to the Group’s board of directors include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
-
q. Ordinary shares
-
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity.
-
r. New accounting standards and interpretations
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current year, including AASB 9 and AASB 15. The new and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations do not have any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments – There were no changes required to the consolidated financial report to recognise the revised requirements of AASB 9.
AASB 15 Revenue – Revenue is recognised when the goods are shipped to the customer or when the services have been completed, this is in-line with AASB 15 and has not resulted in any changes. Impacts of standards issued but not yet adopted by the Group
AASB 16 Leases – The standard will primarily affect the Group’s operating leases. As at the reporting date the Group had only low value leases and the impact on the financial statements is not expected to be significant.
- s. Key estimates
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and internally.
Key Estimates – Exploration and evaluation
The Group’s policy for exploration and evaluation is discussed in Note 1(e). The application of this policy requires management to make certain assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. At the date of this report the Group has sufficient reason to believe:
-
rights to explore in specific areas, once expired, will be renewed;
-
substantive expenditure on exploration and evaluation in specific areas has been budgeted;
-
exploration in specific areas is ongoing and the Group has not decided to discontinue; and
-
no specific sufficient data exists that indicates that the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered.
Key Estimates — Impairment
The Group assesses impairment of assets held for sale and intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. At the date of this report the Group has sufficient reason to believe that no impairment triggers exist for intangible assets.
There is a significant risk of actual outcomes being different from those forecasted due to changes in economic or market conditions and events.
Key Estimates — Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity settled transactions with suppliers by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments as at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model. Refer to Note 3k for the inputs to the Black-Scholes model.

No Tasman options were outstanding at 30 June 2019. The Eden options outstanding at 30 June 2019 all had a weighted average exercise price of $0.226 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.74 years.
Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative of future volatility, which may not eventuate. Volatility of 52-82% and a risk free rate of 1.5-2.24% were used in the Black-Scholes model. The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.
No options were exercised during the year ended 30 June 2019. Included under employee benefits expense in the income statement is $453,930 (2018: $757,145) which relates, in full, to equity settled share-based payment transactions.

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks and accounts payable.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Tasman Resources Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Tasman Resources Ltd (the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group)), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its performance for the year then ended; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 of the Financial Report, which indicates that the Group will require further funding in the next twelve months from the date of this report to fund its planned operating costs. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its asses and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
Key audit matter
Valuation of capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Refer to Notes 1e, 4, and 8.
As at 30 June 2019 the carrying value of capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure was $14,327,223 (2018:$14,186,527). The Group’s accounting policy in respect of Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure is outlined in Note 1e.
This is a key audit matter due to the fact that significant judgement is required in determining whether there are any facts or circumstances that indicate the Group should test the exploration assets for impairment.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our procedures focussed on evaluating whether there were facts or circumstances that indicated that the Group should test capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure for impairment. These procedures included, amongst others:
-
confirming whether the rights to tenure of the areas of interest remained current at balance date as well as confirming that rights to tenure are expected to be renewed for tenements that will expire in the near future;
-
obtaining evidence of the future intention for the areas of interest, including reviewing future budgeted expenditure and related work programmes; and
-
obtaining an understanding of the status of ongoing exploration programmes, for the areas of interest.
We also assessed the appropriateness of the accounting treatment and disclosure in terms of AASB 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.
Impairment assessment of Cash Generating Unit: Eden Innovations Ltd
Refer to Notes 1e, 4, and 8.
As at 30 June 2019 the Group’s concrete production cash generating unit and subsidiary, Eden Innovations Ltd, comprised Property Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets. The carrying values of the CGU’s Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets as at 30 June 2019 were, respectively, $12,463,621 (2018: $10,690,384) and $6,524,192 (2018: $4,907,542). Impairment was assessed by the Group at the CGU level by considering if impairment indicators were present.
The impairment assessment for the CGU’s Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets is a key audit matter due to:
-
the significance of the Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets balances to the statement of financial position; and
-
the judgement involved in the impairment indicator assessment due to the need to make
We performed the following procedures, among others, to evaluate the Group's impairment assessment:
• compared actual sales performance of EdenCrete[R] for the year to sales of the preceding year; and
• enquired of management and inspected a selection of Board of Director Meeting minutes to assess whether there were any:
-
observable indications that the asset values have declined during the year significantly more than would be expected as a result of the passage of time or normal use;
-
significant changes with an adverse effect on the entity that have taken place during the year, or will take place in the near future, in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the entity operates or in the market to which an asset is dedicated;
-
increases to market interest rates or other market rates of return on investments during the year, and whether those increases were likely to affect the discount rate used in calculating an asset’s value in
estimates about future events and other circumstances.
-
use and decrease the asset’s recoverable amount materially;
-
-available evidence of obsolescence or physical damage of an asset; and -
-significant changes with an adverse effect on the entity during the year, or any are expected to take place in the near future, to the extent to which, or manner in which, an asset is used or is expected to be used.
We also compared the market capitalisation of Eden Innovations Ltd, the concrete production company which is consolidated in the Group, to the Group’s net assets as at 30 June 2019.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in Tasman Resources Limited’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the consolidated financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Directors’ responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibility for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at The Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 14 to 16 of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2019.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Tasman Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019, complies with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
